POWER STEERING SYSTEM CALIBRATION


  1. TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

    Note

    Perform torque sensor zero point calibration if any of the following conditions occur:


    • The power steering ECU assembly has been replaced.

    • The electric power steering column sub-assembly has been replaced.

    • There is a difference in steering effort between turning left and right.


    1. Inspection before calibration


      1. Turn the ignition switch off.

      2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

      3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

      4. Turn the intelligent tester on.

      5. Calibrate the power steering ECU assembly. Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.

      6. Check the values by referring to the table below.

        EMPS
        Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
        IG Power Supply

        ECU power source voltage/

        Min.: 0.0000 V

        Max.: 20.1531 V

        		 9 to 16 V Ignition switch ON

        Note

        If the IG power supply voltage is 9 V or less, calibration cannot be performed. In this case, charge or replace the battery, and then perform calibration.

      7. Torque sensor zero point calibration

        Note

        If DTC C1516 (Torque Sensor Zero Point Adjustment Incomplete) is stored, the torque sensor zero point cannot be calibrated. Clear the DTCs before starting calibration.


        1. Set the steering wheel to the center point and align the front wheels straight ahead.

        2. Turn the ignition switch off.

        3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

        4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

        5. Turn the intelligent tester on.

        6. Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Utility / Torque Sensor Adjustment.

          Note


          • Do not turn the steering wheel sharply.

          • Do not touch the steering wheel during torque sensor zero point calibration (for 3 seconds).

          Note

          If DTC C1515, C1516, C1534 or C1581 is output, perform troubleshooting for the corresponding DTC.

      8. ASSIST MAP WRITING

        Tech Tips

        If DTC C1581 is output after torque sensor zero point calibration, perform assist map writing.


        1. Turn the ignition switch off.

        2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

        3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

        4. Turn the intelligent tester on.

        5. Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Utility / Signal Check.

          Tech Tips


          • Follow the instructions on the intelligent tester to perform Signal Check.

          • With DTC C1581 output, performing Signal Check will cause the power steering ECU assembly to enter Test Mode and the assist map will be written automatically.

        6. Wait for at least 5 second.
